D
No poe should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by soeone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end. All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poe is, finally, the ost telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhyth, and eaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on fil, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it.
I have coe to think, in fact, that tie spent reading a poe aloud is uch ore iportant than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t tie for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love p oetry. Poetry is “ a criticis of life”, and “ a heightening（提升）of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. []
I a not saying that every English teacher ust teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry ust keep in ind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they ust ake roo in the classroo for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
48. To have a better understanding of a poe, one should_________.
A. discuss it with others
B. analyze it by oneself
C. copy it down in a notebook
D. practise reading it aloud
49. Which of the following is NOT entioned as a function of poetry? ____________
A. Extending your life.B. Saving your life
C. Criticizing lifeD. Heightening life
50. According to the writer, one of the p urposes of teaching English is to get students .
A. to understand life B. to enjoy poetry
C. to becoe teachersD. to becoe poets
51. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph iply? _________
A. ore stress was laid on the und erstanding of poetry in the past.
B. Poetry is ore iportant than any other subject.
C. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.
